so they're disorganized. you could probably use that.

[forcevisions]

Yeah? How do you figure? The way I see it, unpredictability in this way is a mark in their favor.

[followhim]

dunno, i was mostly thinking about how you could catch a break if they switched out fewer people or took awhile to switch. or they're so disorganized you could just walk up pretending to be one of them. but i guess you're right

[forcevisions]

Pretending to be them might at least get me up close. I've got armor bearing the mountain clan's sigil. Might help.

Good thinking.

[ that can get her up close enough to ... mind control them ... : ) ]

[followhim]

yeah, no problem. i've got ideas sometimes

[forcevisions]

Sounding defensive again.

[followhim]

now you're just projecting

[forcevisions]

Just checking!

[followhim]

i was joking around!

[forcevisions]

I guess I'm just worried about saying the wrong thing still.

[followhim]

yeah, me too. it'll get better. i think we've just gotta work through it. give it some time.

[forcevisions]

I hate waiting.

[ Maybe he didn't know that about her but he does now. Don't think about it too long or you'll get sad. ]

[followhim]

[ ow :( ]

yeah, me too. [ i mean he told you his much less depressing backstory about how he had to babysit a tree for a year because he was impatient. ]

maybe after this whole thing, we can get drinks together. only you'll be drinking too and i won't drink a whole bottle of whatever.

[forcevisions]

[ She laughs. In her tree seat. Which is probably bad because what if the guards heard ??? she quiets down quickly. ]

I'd like that a lot. Once the summit is over, and the Empresses have a plan.

[ No wait shit. She wouldn't ? ? ? What if the Force. But it's out there in the universe now. ]

[followhim]

[ /oblivious ]

yeah, exactly. hopefully everything'll work out. i don't know about this whole marriage thing, though ...

[forcevisions]

[ WHAT AN EXCELLENT SEGUE ]

! I KNOW!

What kind of peace is it if it means they're trapped in some cold political arrangement?

[followhim]

it's not good for them, and it's not good for the people. it might distract people for a little while but it's putting a bandage on a bigger issue at most. all those rebels that wanna go to war over on your side aren't gonna stand down if the empress marries the empress of the side they wanna fight. it doesn't make any sense.

[forcevisions]

Good. Then Nama won't agree to it, and they'll both be happier because we'll find something better. Something that doesn't ask them to sacrifice their own happiness for peace.

[followhim]

yeah, the problem is that is the coming up with something better. you got something better? because i don't.

[forcevisions]

Well ... no.

[followhim]

maybe someone else will when we all talk about the proposal. we can't be the only ones who feel like this about it, can we?

[forcevisions]

The only other idea I've heard someone share so far has been worse.

[followhim]

what's that?

[forcevisions]

Military action.

[followhim]

isn't that what we're trying to avoid? unless you mean martial law?
